A New Post!

Sorry Friends and Family for taking so long for updating my blog! We have a had a busy several weeks.

First off, I traveled to Michigan right after Memorial Weekend for a business meeting. The meeting was in Traverse City, MI. Traverse City is located right on Lake Michigan and it is a beautiful resort town. We stayed at the Grand Traverse resort, it was absoultely beautiful, however the majority of the trip it was raining and in the high 50's. Our "team building" activity for the trip was a dinner cruise on this sailboat called the "Tall Ship", and yes, despite the rain we still were able to go on the cruise (Horray! Just kidding..) I have posted pictures from the sailing trip.

Last week, we were able to welcome in this world, our new little neice, Payton Amber-Nicole Brantley. She was born on Monday and weighed 5lbs. 7oz. Asha had a hard delivery, but in the end Payton and her mommy made it through great. She is now the apple of all of our eyes!

Today, Steven and I were able to go visit little Payton and hold her for the very first time. I have posted some pictures of her below, but if you would like to see them all, you can visit http://picasaweb.google.com/cassieaross or http://picasasaweb.google.com/onemanlit . That is my picture page and dad's. Chris and Asha are working on posting pictures now. I will post there link when they get it set up.

Have a wonderful week! Untill, next time!
